With the iPad 2 set to go on sale tonight, there are some questions about whether to purchase the 3G enabled versions and, if so, whether to go with the AT&T or Verzion version.
Whether you need the 3G version depends wholly on your personal situation. Are you generally in a WiFi area, do you travel often, would a WiFi type device be more appropriate?
